Hereditary Deafness

As per available reports Hereditary deafness has related 10 Upcoming Conferences, 10 Relevant Journals, 48 Conference Proceedings, 10 Articles and 15 National symposiums. Hereditary deafness is hearing loss that is inherited or passed down from parents to their children. This type of hearing loss may be inherited from one or both parents who may or may not have a loss of hearing themselves. Hereditary material or genes are located on chromosomes which are found in each cell of the body. Genes provide instructions for specific traits or characteristics such as hair color or blood type. Defective genes can also pass along traits such as hearing loss or speech and language disorders. The hereditary hearing loss that results from defective genes may be syndromic or nonsyndromic, dominant or recessive. Syndromic hearing loss is associated with specific traits additional to hearing impairment. Hereditary deafness is type of deafness where it comes directly through hereditary which are located on chromosomes. It can be diagnosed through various devices such as Videonystagmography, Electrophysiologic and dichotic listening tests.

Scope and Importance:

The differences in educational requirements for audiologists versus hearing aid specialists reflects the much larger scope of professional practice that audiologists are licensed to engage in. Audiologists receive extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing and balance disorders, as well as the fitting, adjustment, and verification of hearing aid, cochlear implant, and implantable hearing aid devices. Areas of practice include the audiologic identification, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of individuals with impairment of auditory and vestibular function, prevention of hearing loss, and research in normal and disordered auditory and vestibular function. The audiologist is responsible for the evaluation, fitting, and verification of amplification devices, including assistive listening devices. Though many options and alternatives have been developed to successfully interface hearing aids, the hearing health care providers need to remain current in their knowledge regarding these issues and technologies. As hearing aid technology has become more advanced, more adaptive features have become available for the users. These features can include adaptive directional microphones, multiple channels, multiple memories and noise reduction options. Currently the research gained importance in early intervention practices, the consequences of mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss and cochlear implantation outcomes for children and services for children and families affected by hearing loss.

Market analysis:

There are more than 10 million people in Europe with some form of hearing loss, or one in six of the population. By 2031, it is estimated that there will be 14.5 million people with hearing loss in the EUROPE. More than 8, 00,000 people in the EUROPE are severely or profoundly deaf. There are more than 45,000 deaf children in the EUROPE. There are approximately 3, 56,000 people with combined visual and hearing impairment in the EUROPE. The Global Hearing Aids Market is expected to reach USD 5,440.5 million by 2020, growing at an estimated CAGR of 3.2% from 2014 to 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing global base of geriatric population coupled with increasing prevalence of deafness is expected to serve this market as a primary growth driver. In addition, rapidly increasing usage rates of 100% digital hearing aid technology and patient awareness levels are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
